Take out the auto line!

That is because your auto line causes an attempt to bring it up that
fails when networking is started ('ifup -a'). When PCMCIA starts it
probably finds an entry for eth0 in /etc/network/ifstate and does not
try to bring it up (or may be it is the auto keyword, I can't recall
anymore). But the root cause is the first try because of the auto
keyword.

Nope. Just don't use auto.
I'm writing this using a laptop with a very minimal Debian Woody
install and a PCMCIA wirless card as a terminal to my desktop
machine. It boots and brings up the dhcp wlan card just fine :-)
